"Saul," and "Karhsish." Notes are
supplied in an appendix. Miss (or
Mrs. Hersey declares that Browning
promised us, by the mouth of David,
a double immortality-one in the in
fuences which we have set astir by our
way of living on this earth j; the othe~,
in our own characters as we have COM
pleted them III this present life. That
is, we are to enjoy personal immor-
tality, besides living in the world after
We are dead, by means of the good we
have done here. Such is the Brown
| ing revelation, which Miss Cor Mrs
Hersey says is certainty to Brown
ing's mind. Isn't 1t queer that, as
worshiper of Browning, she should have
arrived at just about the same Conclu
sions which were announced to man
kind good while ago by God and by
his Son Jesus?
The writing of an accurate and au-
thoritativc life of Kit Carson, the ia
nous scout, which was to have been
undertaken by Mrs. Jessie Benton Ere
mont during the coming summer, has
been indefinitely postponed. at can
not be written this summer as an
nounCed," says Mrs. Fremont in let
ter, Gas the General and myself have
more than enough work with the sec
ond volume of the Memoirs But it
will be done later, and we shall then
both give to the world our personal
knowledge CT our friend Carson. For
this work we have already had aid in
various ways from some of his truest
friends and companions. 1t was our
purpose to spend the coming summer
with Senator Dorsey in Colorado, and
meet there some who were lifetime
friends Of Kit Carson, but we have
given up the journey for more imme-
diate work on the Generals sMe-
moirs. "
"Principles of Art" by ]. C. Van
Dyke, Librarian of the Sage Library in
New Brunswick, N. ]. (Fords, How
ard q HurlberD, makes a creditable
and noteworthy effort to clear up the
ideas upon which painting and sculp-
ture should proceed if they are to ad-
vance on the line of progress. The
first portion of the work is devoted to
art as it may be summed up in history.
The second part treats of the theory of
art as evolved from the historical re-
view of its past. Mr.. Van Dyke,
whose name happily recalls, though
with a different spelling, that Of two
masters of painting in the Netherland
school, explores the whole region of
history and philosophy and of litera-
ture, SO far as it bears upon the devel-
opment of architecture, painting and
sculpture. His manner of doing this
is simple and clear, and he has packed |
into short volume great deal of
useful reflection and advice.
The very popular series of Catherine
Owens papers on candy making, re-
Gently published in Good Housekeep-
ing, are now being prepared by the
author for republication in book form,
so great has been the demand for such
book. 1t is expected that it will be
on the counters Of the book stores and
news rooms Of the country in a few
weeks. The popular demand for this
work is indicated by the fact that
arge number of orders have been re-
,eived for it before the order-book was
opened or an announcement even of
he publication in book form had been
made.
